Isis was a pretty name
My next D&D campaign is going to have a character named Mendacious in charge of a prominent faction. Language nerds will know he's a traitor right off the bat

True story. Went to middle school with a girl who had an American mother and a Vietnamese father. His English was passable, but he was far from fluent. He wanted to give his daughter a pretty English word that he liked the sound of: Diarrhea.

Fortunately, her mother put a stop to that and "Stephanie" was forever thankful.
